either, o well I can at least own my idea! XD
Chapter 5: Naraku's trap
Miroku woke to Sango moving her head on his shoulder. He kept his eyes closed. By the sound he heard coming from the camp, it sounded like they were all awake and were about to leave. He overheard one of the demons he had talked to last night talking to one of the wolves, "Go wake up Brother Monk, Kehdo." He felt a nudge on his left arm. He opened his eyes and looked around. "Morning, you sleep pretty late." Miroku sat up, knocking Sango off of his shoulder. He quickly caught her and laid her on his lap. "Yah, well it's pretty early." He looked over to Shippou and gently hit him. Shippou woke with a, "Who, what, where? Don't let me catch you!" he rubbed his eyes and looked up at Miroku. "O hey Miroku!"
"Shippou go wake up Inuyasha and Kagome"
"Ok," he said as he got up and ran over to where Inuyasha and Kagome were sleeping. Miroku looked over there. Kagome had somehow in the night gotten from her sleeping bag to Inuyasha's lap. He smiled and looked to Sango who was sleeping with her head on his lap. He nudged her gently with his finger. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Miroku. She smiled and sat up. "Come on," he said to Sango as he got up. He walked over to Inuyasha. He didn't look up right away when Miroku came over, he was too busy holding Shippou by the tail, threatening him. Kagome was yelling at Inuyasha to put Shippou down. "Morning," Miroku said as he walked up to them. Inuyasha looked up, giving Shippou enough time to wiggle out of his grasp. "O good morning Miroku!" Kagome said in her usual up beat voice. "Feh, why are you coming over here to us?" Miroku looked at him. "I was convinced you rather spend time with your filthy wolves." Kagome gave a shocked "Inuyasha!" Miroku looked away for a second. He knew Inuyasha was a bit upset about last night, but that gave him no excuse to be rude. "Inuyasha apologize!" Kagome said. "Why should I!?" he got up and started to walk away. "SIT BOY," Kagome yelled. Inuyasha landed on the ground, making a bit of an indent into the rock. He got up and started to yell at Kagome, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"
"FOR BEING RUDE, and I'll say it AGAIN if you don't STOP IT," she turned to Miroku, "He's really sorry"
"You know if you never wanted to be with me, you could have always left. I think I'll carry on with the pack. If we ever see each other again, it will be by accident and not on purpose." Kagome gave a shocked look. "Miroku. I.."
"No save it Kagome, I'm leaving," he said. Sango gave a worried look, "He didn't mean that. I'll go with him." She turned around, gave a death look to Inuyasha, and walked towards Miroku. Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "I swear to god you can be SO insensitive sometimes!" She kneeled down and started to roll up her sleeping bag. "I only spoke what I was thinking, why do you people have to take it so hard." Kagome turned to Inuyasha, she was red. "SIT BOY," she yelled.
The pack started off again. Sango had volunteered to go on ahead to see if Naraku was anywhere in sight. Miroku ran in silence for a bit. He couldn't believe how thick headed Inuyasha could be sometimes, he didn't even know why he was traveling with him. Was it worth it now? Should he find Kouga and change back? If the only group he traveled with couldn't even accept him as he was now, why should he? What if one day he turned into something worse? Would they still travel with him? "What am I saying of course they would," he thought to himself, "I think." They ran for awhile, then one of the demons he had spoken with yesterday asked him, "Why aren't you with your pack?" Miroku didn't answer for a bit. "Because they can't, can't accept me for who I am now. It's kind of hard to explain."
"Should it matter, if they do care for you anyways?" Miroku pondered on this for a second. Did they actually care for him? He remembered yesterday. Inuyasha had stopped his brother from crushing the jewel, did he do it because he cared for him? He realized he was letting what Inuyasha had said get to him. This wasn't like him, he never let it before because he knew he was full of hot air. "No it shouldn't," he said. He was about to say something when Sango came up. "I saw his fortress up ahead, it's not to far from where you guys are now," she said. Miroku looked up at Sango. Yes, they did care for him, if not then why would have Sango come with him? He looked out and saw the dark clouds ahead. They were definitely close now.
When they reached the fortress, a strong wind greeted them. "Kagura is here," Miroku yelled up to Sango. She nodded knowing the danger they could be in, and went in. Sango and Miroku looked around. Nothing to be seen, but there was a strong wind coming from the main building. If the wind wasn't a tip that Kagura was indeed here, Naraku's scent confirmed it. Miroku looked around and then noticed a body in the middle of the court. It was Kouga. The pack saw him and ran to him. One of them nudged him, he wouldn't get up, "He's not getting up." All of a sudden A man in a white baboon outfit appeared in front of the main building. A chilled laugh ran through the air as the baboon figure rose in the air and sprouted long tentacles out from the bottom opening in the outfit. "Naraku's puppet," yelled Miroku to Sango. The wind was roaring so loud around them that it was hard to hear. Sango took out her boomerang and threw it at one of the tentacles that had one of the wolves in its grasp. He fell to the ground whimpering. Miroku charged for it, he knew if he cut the head off, he would destroy it. He dodged a tentacle that came charging for him and jumped into the air. He came down and slapped his staff hard into the head, then took his claws and attempted to rip off the head. He wasn't quick enough and the puppet dodged it. Miroku landed on the ground as Sango came running up and threw her boomerang, aiming for the head. She wasn't looking, and was almost hit by a rather large tentacle, but Miroku had blocked it. Slam. The boomerang hit the head and cut it off. The puppet became still then fell to the ground. Miroku got up and ran to Kouga. He took out the jewel then stopped. Was he sure he wanted to do this? He sat for a second, too long of a second. Kagura appeared chuckling to herself. "I see you destroyed the puppet, wasn't sure if you would or not," she sneered. She took out her fan and raised it up, there came a large gust of wind out of nowhere. Miroku stood up and faced her. A loud slam against the gate called both of their attention towards it. There came another and the gates opened, in walked Inuyasha with Kagome and Shippou standing a couple of feet behind him. Miroku gave a shocked look. What were they doing here? He was sure that they wouldn't follow him. Did this really mean that they did care for him, no matter what he looked like? "Knew you would be here Kagura, this place just reeked of your scent"
"O look, dog boy to the rescue. No matter I can easily finish you off. With out your wind scar, you cannot beat me"
"We'll see about that," he said as he started to charge for her. As he was he called out to Miroku, "Are you ok?" Miroku stood there for a second. "Yah I'm fine, you got here before we went up against Kagura" Kagome went running up to Miroku. "I'm really, really sorry about earlier today"
"It's ok," Miroku replied. He realized he could use this time to switch back with Kouga. He kneeled down by him and took out the jewel. Holding it with his right hand, he touched it against Kouga's hand. Nothing. He gave a worried look. His thoughts were interrupted by an evil laugh. Miroku looked over and saw the head of the puppet. "What's so funny," Miroku demanded. "Nothing, just that when the sun sets on the third night, the switch becomes permanent." Miroku gave a mad look, got up and kicked the head across the court. "You're lying!" he yelled to it. He fell to his knees and looked down. If he wasn't lying, then why didn't it work?
